Yes, ESXiPlugin _is_ a storage plugin, and it must stay there, but about
80% of it's code is not related to being a storage plugin but for importing
only, parts of it might be even shareable with other such import related
stuff. So what I meant with "**most** of the ESXi one" is that I'd separate
these parts from the storage plugin specific code, not moving it completely.
